That was a company decision, not the families. probably in the search of publicity.
Yeah, and then two more had to fly empty to re-jig the flights: https://www.scotsman.com/news/transport/jets-flew-empty-for-500-miles-to-pick-up-royals-for-aberdeen-visit-1-4990308
The press, (fairly) make the point that this was of course, the company’s decision, not theirs. Because the unintended consequence of the decision to fly economy is that flights were bounced around to accommodate them and their security.
However, imagine if Harry and Meghan had caused this rigmarole, they would then probably have been slagged off for not considering the consequences of their actions. “SELFISH Sussexes’ decision to fly economy disrupts entire timetable as THREE EMPTY PLANES are shuttled around.”
They haven’t done away with primogeniture, simply male primogeniture for people born after the Act. The change had nothing to do with him dropping down the line of succession. That was all down to Kate and Wills popping out royal sprogletts.
Maybe you don’t ask how new mums are doing, bit these days most people with an ounce of empathy do.

Nobody ever asks how new fathers are doing and they need just as much support.

Men’s mental health awareness has made great strides - just recognising it and removing stigma took a long and hard enough battle (which isn’t still yet won).
However, post natal depression in men has come slightly to the fore in the last couple of years - there was an announcement about NHS check up provision in 2018 (don’t know if it’s enacted though) and several articles since. So we’re getting there.
The same sort of problem arises in the recognition of female on male domestic abuse of which it is 30% of the total, but there are only two male refuges in the UK.

Again, something which had been grossly under reported (and probably still is) for generations.
The irony of both scenarios is that the fight that men have been having for recognition and support in both areas is, in effect, the fault of men.
There are more than 2. And this isn’t the thread for it but there are plenty of reasons why there are fewer refuges that accept men.

I was stating male specific. I agree not the thread, maybe a separate one would be an idea?
100%.
Never bothered me as to whether anyone would ask about me, just got on with it and accepted it as part of having children. All this modern guff about support and help groups just feeds people’s anxieties and exacerbates the problem IMO.
I took the “weekend shifts” for our three so my wife got to have a bit of a break. As she said not fair that I got up during the week as I was at work and she could at least sleep or doze during the day.
My Mrs and I supported/helped each other which IMO is how it should be.
You really are a complete and utter Piers Morgan aren’t you.

People invent these groups turn them into charities and need to perpetuate problems to keep them in business.
Are you implying mental health issues are “guff” if so it’s that behaviour that drives mental health challenges…not just making it up.
I can speak first hand of the challenges and find your opinion very offensive.

Stop feeding the troll and hopefully it will go away.

There are other ways of making it go away…

The reference was to those who seemingly fail to cope with having children and rather than get on with it with their families, look for "help’ from outside people who as I say need to feed their own business model. But as ever someone likes to jump in.
Yes. Those charities like Homestart are very self serving. Their volunteers that go and provide 1:1 family support to a parent are so selfish. I just don’t know what they do with all that money they don’t make 
.
You really are a cretin. Stop trolling, move on with your life and find a hobby that you enjoy. Please. For your health and ours.
